This past weekend Richard and I went to Jacksonville for the weekend. I wanted to visit family and friends since we will be moving to Texas sometime within the next few months.
I didn’t realize how big my family was until this weekend! I’ve always said I have a pretty small family compared to most people. We haven’t lived near family since I was young so it was just my immediate family. Which only consists of 6 people. But I have been so WRONG! My family is HUGE!
The Lord has place these AMAZING families in my life.
As we were driving back to Graceville, I was getting comfy and ready for a little nap. As I was drifting to sleep I was thinking of how great my God is! How each person I was able to see this weekend, God put into my life. How he used each one of them to shape and mold and challenge me. They are my family now. (Isn’t that how the body of Christ is supposed to be?)
I realized how incredibly blessed I am to have had so many people invest in my life. To love me! So many don’t have that in their lives, and it breaks my heart. It has been on of the most important aspect of my life. Without people loving and investing in me, I would have never known that Jesus died for me. I would have never known that the God of the universe created me, loves me, has plans for me. I would have never known.
I pray that God uses me in this way, so that one day I can save a young person from death.
